evade responsibility and doing all he could to meet the duties involved of which marriage was certainly not one everything here was eminently to his credit under circumstances which would have seemed to many men of the world to justify him in other con duct than that which he accepted as his duty there was no abduction only proper legal action under cir cumstances which demanded it tire facts which have been blown up into a case of kidnapping are that the child being neglected and in dan gar of death mr cleveland took into his confidence judge burrows a ci ti - cen whose high character is clearly enough proved by the fact that he was then trustee of the protestant or phan asylum under his persuasion the child was surrendered by the mother to the orphan asylum and regular papers resigning her parental rights made out the entry in the books is that march 9 1876 oscar halpin born soptember 14 1874 was received from his mother maria p halpin at the board rate of 5 per week which presumably mr cleve land was to pay through judge bur rows finding that in the surrender of the child she had lost her claim against mr cleveland mrs halpin endeavor to recover him and finally as the asylum record gives it april 28 1876 he was stolen by her in the mother's hands his situation grew more alarming than ever the ex chief and the officers in charge agreed in representing to me that something bad to be done judge burrows then directed the child to be returned to the asylum where he was again re corded july 10 1876 as received from . as to the mother w-ho was out of her head in alcoholie frenzy the officer watts says that he acted on the right of personal judgment usually assumed by officers in such cases and took her not to the common lockup but to the more private and less rigorous roman catholic provi dence asylum for both lunatics and inebriates where she was placed to recover she was not incarcerated she was not entered for permanence the motive was not to hide a trouble some woman nor to suppress a scan dal but to provide for a child aban doned and in danger of death and a woman out of her head by drink and threatening to throw her child out of the window there remain the worst and damn ing charges of general libertinism and drunkenness 1 say distinctly after abundant inquiry they are false they are 1 believe the product of the im agination of the stews every at tempt to trace them led back into the merest gossip of saloons and brothels on the other hand my inquiry of the noblest christian men in the city es pecially in the legal profession men above all reproach men who will vote for him and men who will vote and speak against him for political reasons men who knew cleveland most inti mately who have been his partners iu business or his nearest neighbors men who knew him by day and by night brings the unanimous reply that it is utterly impossible unit such reports oan be true he is a man of true and kind heart frank and open so intensely devoted to his business duties that it is impossible that he should be a debauchee he has the heartiest respect of the best families in the city who only regrets that he keeps himself so much out of the so ciety to which he would be a welcome visitor there are some severe prejudices against mr cleveland in buffalo they have their chief seat in the sa loons against whose tyranny his elec tion to the mayoralty was the protest of all good citizens of both parties they have not forgiven him for their defeat from the best source of in formation i received testimony that mr cleveland is a born ruler of men of the greatest independence and hon esty of character a man who believes in reform to the bottom of his soul and has the independence to carry it out and a man on whom the respon sibilities of office have rested with a serious and solemn weight the men are very few who could have received such testimonials to their efficiency and conscientiousness aud independ ence in public duties as i heard given to mr cleveland from the most in fluential and trustworthy citizens of buffalo it is now proper that i should in dicate my own view of the effect the truth iu reference to these unexpected charges should have upon independ ents who were ready to give their support to mr cleveland there is nothing in it that would naturally placate them toward mr blaiiie or mitigate their opposition to him that rests upon grounds of public political morality it does not require them to withdraw their support from mr cleveland that rests on the same grounds as their opposition to mr blaine but it does send them into the canvassa with a fact in the history of their candidate which they cannot forget and which they will have to carry as a burden for there is no interest public and political higher than that of the fam jily if mr cleveland is a rebel against â– the law of the family he is a public ; enemy and when he is shown to be , so i will abandon him but sueh he ; is not even though the lapse of which he was guilty and whose punishment he was man enough to accept is not i to be palliated whether such an of i fense can in the course of years fee forgiven will depend on one's eager '. ness to cast the first stone for my part i can forgrve it when it has not been denied and its bitter fruit has been accepted and all the duties which grew out of it generously discharged serious therefore as this matter is i cannot amid the great responsibili ties and pressing necessities of the political situation see that it author izes us to set aside the conclusions which the whole independent parly has drawn from the tried trusty and admirable public career of governor cleveland nor permit us to forget that above any other american citi zen now living aud known to the country he possesses in himself the administrative ability which is the great and primary requirement of the 1 presidential office don't scold no one is lit to control another who has not sufficient command over his own temper to be able to keep it well under subjection the happiness of many a family is materially lessened by the giving away to lits of ill-tem ! per and fretfulness and peevishness in the heads and rulers thereof the husband and father thinks he has a perfect right to scold at and domineer over his wife and children are they ' not his own ? and dosen't he support the family ? and isn f t he the head of the house of course everything ought to be done with a view to his comfort and happiness the wife and mother pouts about tlie bouse scolds worries ami abuses the chil dren whenever slie feels out of tem per tired unwell or anything goes wrong the teacher scolds and pun ishes the pupil and the overseer domineers over his laborer each one thinking might makes right and perfect obedience is his due forget ting that human individuality always demands freedom of act and liberty of thought it is a self-evident fact to all real thinkers that scolding and fretting j never yet accomplished any actual good it only angers and raises a spirit of rebellion and insubordina tion whereas by kindly council land sympathizing interest in the wel fare of those under your control and i care you can effect almost anything ! you wish to it may be necessary â€” or at least it may seem so to us in our ignorance â€” that we speak sharp : ly crossly decisively now and then ;

evade responsibility and doing all he could to meet the duties involved of which marriage was certainly not one everything here was eminently to his credit under circumstances which would have seemed to many men of the world to justify him in other con duct than that which he accepted as his duty there was no abduction only proper legal action under cir cumstances which demanded it tire facts which have been blown up into a case of kidnapping are that the child being neglected and in dan gar of death mr cleveland took into his confidence judge burrows a ci ti - cen whose high character is clearly enough proved by the fact that he was then trustee of the protestant or phan asylum under his persuasion the child was surrendered by the mother to the orphan asylum and regular papers resigning her parental rights made out the entry in the books is that march 9 1876 oscar halpin born soptember 14 1874 was received from his mother maria p halpin at the board rate of 5 per week which presumably mr cleve land was to pay through judge bur rows finding that in the surrender of the child she had lost her claim against mr cleveland mrs halpin endeavor to recover him and finally as the asylum record gives it april 28 1876 he was stolen by her in the mother's hands his situation grew more alarming than ever the ex chief and the officers in charge agreed in representing to me that something bad to be done judge burrows then directed the child to be returned to the asylum where he was again re corded july 10 1876 as received from . as to the mother w-ho was out of her head in alcoholie frenzy the officer watts says that he acted on the right of personal judgment usually assumed by officers in such cases and took her not to the common lockup but to the more private and less rigorous roman catholic provi dence asylum for both lunatics and inebriates where she was placed to recover she was not incarcerated she was not entered for permanence the motive was not to hide a trouble some woman nor to suppress a scan dal but to provide for a child aban doned and in danger of death and a woman out of her head by drink and threatening to throw her child out of the window there remain the worst and damn ing charges of general libertinism and drunkenness 1 say distinctly after abundant inquiry they are false they are 1 believe the product of the im agination of the stews every at tempt to trace them led back into the merest gossip of saloons and brothels on the other hand my inquiry of the noblest christian men in the city es pecially in the legal profession men above all reproach men who will vote for him and men who will vote and speak against him for political reasons men who knew cleveland most inti mately who have been his partners iu business or his nearest neighbors men who knew him by day and by night brings the unanimous reply that it is utterly impossible unit such reports oan be true he is a man of true and kind heart frank and open so intensely devoted to his business duties that it is impossible that he should be a debauchee he has the heartiest respect of the best families in the city who only regrets that he keeps himself so much out of the so ciety to which he would be a welcome visitor there are some severe prejudices against mr cleveland in buffalo they have their chief seat in the sa loons against whose tyranny his elec tion to the mayoralty was the protest of all good citizens of both parties they have not forgiven him for their defeat from the best source of in formation i received testimony that mr cleveland is a born ruler of men of the greatest independence and hon esty of character a man who believes in reform to the bottom of his soul and has the independence to carry it out and a man on whom the respon sibilities of office have rested with a serious and solemn weight the men are very few who could have received such testimonials to their efficiency and conscientiousness aud independ ence in public duties as i heard given to mr cleveland from the most in fluential and trustworthy citizens of buffalo it is now proper that i should in dicate my own view of the effect the truth iu reference to these unexpected charges should have upon independ ents who were ready to give their support to mr cleveland there is nothing in it that would naturally placate them toward mr blaiiie or mitigate their opposition to him that rests upon grounds of public political morality it does not require them to withdraw their support from mr cleveland that rests on the same grounds as their opposition to mr blaine but it does send them into the canvassa with a fact in the history of their candidate which they cannot forget and which they will have to carry as a burden for there is no interest public and political higher than that of the fam jily if mr cleveland is a rebel against â– the law of the family he is a public ; enemy and when he is shown to be , so i will abandon him but sueh he ; is not even though the lapse of which he was guilty and whose punishment he was man enough to accept is not i to be palliated whether such an of i fense can in the course of years fee forgiven will depend on one's eager '. ness to cast the first stone for my part i can forgrve it when it has not been denied and its bitter fruit has been accepted and all the duties which grew out of it generously discharged serious therefore as this matter is i cannot amid the great responsibili ties and pressing necessities of the political situation see that it author izes us to set aside the conclusions which the whole independent parly has drawn from the tried trusty and admirable public career of governor cleveland nor permit us to forget that above any other american citi zen now living aud known to the country he possesses in himself the administrative ability which is the great and primary requirement of the 1 presidential office don't scold no one is lit to control another who has not sufficient command over his own temper to be able to keep it well under subjection the happiness of many a family is materially lessened by the giving away to lits of ill-tem ! per and fretfulness and peevishness in the heads and rulers thereof the husband and father thinks he has a perfect right to scold at and domineer over his wife and children are they ' not his own ? and dosen't he support the family ? and isn f t he the head of the house of course everything ought to be done with a view to his comfort and happiness the wife and mother pouts about tlie bouse scolds worries ami abuses the chil dren whenever slie feels out of tem per tired unwell or anything goes wrong the teacher scolds and pun ishes the pupil and the overseer domineers over his laborer each one thinking might makes right and perfect obedience is his due forget ting that human individuality always demands freedom of act and liberty of thought it is a self-evident fact to all real thinkers that scolding and fretting j never yet accomplished any actual good it only angers and raises a spirit of rebellion and insubordina tion whereas by kindly council land sympathizing interest in the wel fare of those under your control and i care you can effect almost anything ! you wish to it may be necessary â€” or at least it may seem so to us in our ignorance â€” that we speak sharp : ly crossly decisively now and then ;
